WINDOW- I-IAZDE FIXTURE.

Specification of "Letters Patent.

Application filed July 11, 1913.

Patented Jan. 6, 1914.

Serial No. 778,457.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that we, AARON Daxono, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, and Louis Russia, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, Bay Ridge, borough of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Vl indow-Shade Fixture, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

Among the principal objects which the present invention has in view are to provide retainers for the edges of window shades to normally hold the shade in desired position; to provide means whereby if the shade is forced out of normal or correct position, the same may be returned without further damage to the fabric thereof; and to provide fixtures of the character named of simple and economical construction.

Reference is to be had to the accompanying drawings forming a part of this specification, in which similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

Figure 1 is an elevational view of fragments of a window, having a shade guided and controlled by a fixture constructed and arranged in accordance with the present invention; Fig. 2 is a detailed view on an enlarged scale and in horizontal. section, the section being taken on the line 22 in Fig. 3; and Fig. 3 is an enlarged detailed view in elevation, showing the fragment of a Window frame and the upper and lower ends of the present fixture, the body thereof being part-= ed and contracted.

The present invention relates to an improvement upon the structure disclosed in a patent for improvements in window shade fixtures, bearing No. 1,068,222, dated July 22, 1913, to which patent cross reference is here made.

As seen in the accompanying drawings a semi-tubular guard fixture 12 is provided with a nailing flange 13, by which it is secured to the window frame and to a stop bead thereof. The guard fixture 12 is slotted longitudinally to guide the shank of the guide pins 24, one of which pins are secured in each end of the slat 11, to which the hem is sewed.

As seen in the accompanying drawings,

the fixture 12 extends lengthwise and vertically at the side of the window opening. The shade 9 is cut to pass between the two fixtures 12, the edges of the said shade being adapted to rest in front of the swinging flange 25, which is pivotally mounted upon the lip 18. The lip 18 and the swinging flange 25 are each provided with inter-leaved knuckles 26.

To form a hinge for uniting the flange 25 and lip 18, a spring wire 27, preferably constructed from piano wire is extended lengthwise through the said knuckles when interleaved and the ends 28 of the said wire are bent at right angles. The ends extend over and engage the pins 29, one of which pins is formed on the lips 18, the other of said pins being formed on the flanges 25. The ends 28 are normally set in parallel relation, whereby the lip and flange are normally held in straight line or parallel relation.

lVhen the shade 9 is forced inward past the flanges 25 by a gust of wind or other cause, the same is readily and quickly replaced by grasping and turning backward the flange 25 until the edge of the shade passes between the said flanges to its normal position. When the flange is being released the spring ends 28 move the same into holding or guiding relation to the said shade.

Claims 1. A window shade fixture, comprising a guide member for a shade slat; a flange pivotally mounted upon said guide member to overlie the window shade; and a hinge pin pivotally uniting said guide member and flange, said pin being constructed from spring metal, the ends thereof being overturned to engage said flange and said guide member to maintain the normal relation thereof.

2. A window shade fixture, comprising a plurality of tubular guide members having open ends; a window shade having a slat extending between said guide members, headed pins mount-ed upon said slat, the heads of said pins extending within, to be held by said guide members; and a swinging flange pivotally mounted upon said guide members to overlie said shade.

3. A window shade fixture, comprising a plurality of tubular guide members having open ends; a window shade having a slat extending between said guide members; headed pins mounted upon said slat, he heads of said pins extending Within, to beheld by said names to this specification in the presence of guide members, a swinging flange pivotally t-W'o subscribing Witnesses.

mounted upon said guide members to overlie AARON DANGLO. said shade; and springs to hold said sWing- LOUIS RESCH. ing flanges in normally guiding relation to Witnesses: said shade. E. F. MURDOOK,
